Android phones are able to provide some pretty fantastic functionality. Thanks to the sheer amount of apps available on the Play Store (and off it, until Google restricts this important feature), you can perform nearly any task you could think of. As you might expect, this allows them to take the place of other basic items and devices, including those found in your office. There are four gadgets in particular that you can use your phone for, either as a complete replacement or as a backup option.

Of course, Android phones have plenty of basic features that can negate the need for office equipment. Built-in flashlights and calculators are standard, and a simple notes app can easily take the place of pen and paper. But you might not expect your phone to replace a few office gadgets in particular. It might not be a perfect stand-in for those gadgets, but you could still conceivably use an Android device to mimic their functionality.
